Sophie Logan Horse Training

13/07/2026

I’ve mostly been focusing on using the trekking page these days for updates - Sophie's Horse Treks
So give that a like instead to stay up to date on horses. But this has been the latest adventure.

Charlie and Cleo are both looking for new homes. You can get a decent idea on their temperaments from watching the video of the trip.

Both have had the basics done under saddle, a few days out trekking and carrying packs and the odd ride around on the farm. Weather and lack of time have made it hard to progress further, so I'd love to find someone capable to take them on as they are. But I will continue as time allows.

Located Ward, Marlborough. Could potentially deliver to Canterbury next week.

Cleo - 4 year old, 16hh crossbred mare (WB/Clydie/TB/Irish/Arab). Super friendly and bold nature and just a ton of fun to ride! Would see her excelling in an eventing home with a young rider, but well suited to anything. Skip video to 3:10 to see her first ride

Charlie - 5 year old, 15.3hh Clydie x TB mare. A softer type that does require more reassurance from her rider, so experienced home only. But hasn't put a foot wrong and will make a great horse. Video first ride at 17:09

Join me on a three-day horseback expedition through the remote back...

Would love to find these two their new homes! I’m away at the end of the month and it would be great for them to head off while they’re in work and going well. Open to offers in the 🔴 bracket.

Both are lovely natured, smart and trainable types of horses. Well used to farm life and had a lot of miles out trekking. Have had basic schooling. Not for learners.

Dakota - 6yo 16.2hh freisian X clydie/tb mare

Inka - 9yo 15.1hh wb x stationbred mare

Located Marlborough

Inka

9yo 15.1hh mare by Donnerubin
She’s been with me for 5 years and bred me a couple of stunning foals, but it’s time for someone else to enjoy her now.

She has a one in a million nature, is always so calm and sensible and just amazing to do everything with. Stunning paces and a super trainable nature. She’s an absolute pleasure to work with!

Had three weeks of professional dressage schooling last year. Recently been out on the farm and trekking. Happy anywhere in a group, doesn’t worry about what other horses are doing around her or if they disappear (I often ride her out with a loose horse that will run off!). Great on the lead and to lead off. Led the packhorse out for two days over the weekend. She’s going to make a fantastic horse for someone 😊

Located in Canterbury for the week.

Home found.
Diego’s been out on lease since last winter but now needs to find a new home - permanent or another lease.

17.2hh WB/clydie x. 8yo. Big gentle giant. Super kind and willing nature.
Has always been a bit gangly and uncoordinated (hopefully is fully developed now though!) and has stringhalt in a hind leg so not looking for a competition home. Well suited for hacking/husbands horse or a bit of low level fun.

Currently in kaikoura. Can come with his saddle for extra.

Poor Nikau has had a bit of a rough welcome to the farm.

Busy day with vets today trying to figure out the cause of his problems - his whole neck, jaw to chest, came up massively swollen yesterday and he’s in a lot of discomfort.

But he is just being the perfect patient and so kind natured. Especially considering he’s the stallion of the herd!

Fingers crossed he starts improving with medication🤞🤞

Halters on for the youngest of the new arrivals - 2yo and 3yo full siblings

It wasn’t quite on the cards to purchase a herd of unhandled station horses… but hey these things happen 🤷‍♀️

Looking forward to playing around with these guys!

And I’ve got enough spare time to put into these girls now, so Cleo and Inka have made it up to the farm in Marlborough!

Inka had a couple weeks of dressage schooling and will now get some miles on the farm before being advertised again.

And Cleo will start getting some good life experience and get a few more rides under saddle before selling.

Both will be available next year 🙂
